Cheers alan, its a working nightmare process.

Update

So thanks to phils help the oiler cooler is in situ, as per pics.

Getting the front bumper on is the biggest mission ever. After chipping the paintwork and craking the arch.... dont ask how, but barley noticable.
I found the tow bar to be bent, so i bent it down back where it should be.

But i went to remove it, two bolts one for the engine mount and the other solely for the tow bar. The engine mount is tight as arse holes, but the actual tow one is a tad loose will this matter? I doubt it but could be wrong.

Also last night was a good crack.. 5five 5's in the drive was a good effort! almost a T2, nice to see new faces and all are more than welcome back

**car.crash** · 10-12-2009, 22:02

What parts are you not happy with john? Remember you see it everyday and so if your as critical as me, then these flaws will be etched on your brain, the reality is most people won't even notice these bits. But the damage is done as you know the flaws

oh the woe

**The new Bill J** · 14-12-2009, 18:27

Hey Jon its not so long ago that this was a shell with some rust issues. I would be pretty chuffed to have the car looking as good as it does and any details can be ironed out, we've all got stuff we aren't happy about our cars.

**shaggy** · 15-12-2009, 20:25

john mate she looks amazing. im going to have to pop over soon and have a look

**Shane P** · 15-12-2009, 20:34

Would like to see it in the flesh soon
